K&C obtained order that owner must remove pet

Kaman & Cusimano successfully argued that an owner must remove her pit bulls as a result of violations of the association’s rules mandating immediate clean up after pets.

An owner at an association had two pit bulls and failed to immediately clean up after the dogs. In addition, one of the pit bulls attacked another dog on the property. Kaman & Cusimano initiated litigation and was successful in having the dogs permanently removed from the property. The owner is also permanently prohibited from possessing a pit bull on the association property, and must pay more than $3,900.00 for the association’s costs and attorneys’ fees.
